Is the government of India behind a global campaign against Sikh separatism?

It has happened in the United States, in the United Kingdom, in Australia and here in Canada. Security agencies tracking a global campaign believed to be orchestrated by the Government of India against sick separatism, against attempts to create a separate Khalistani state based in the northwestern Indian province of the Punjab. I think it is an ongoing thing. The modus operandi of the Indian government under Modi has changed, former BC premier and former federal cabinet minister Udul Dissange is speaking about. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, currently campaigning for reelection. Modi’s political career has been built on a militant Hindu nationalism, which is often expressed itself by threatening minority Muslim and sick populations. I’m a human rights activist too, you know, in my old garb, before I actually came into electoral politics, so I. Despise that kind of an approach to international politics. India’s foreign ministry says it does not interfere in other countries politics, but the ongoing public inquiry into foreign interference has evidence from Canada’s security agencies that it does, and the inquiry heard from witnesses about Indian interference in Canada. Indian consulates act as a hub for espionage and foreign interference and transnational repression targeting the sick community. And they’ll target anyone who’s vocal. And while the inquiry’s focus is only on election interference, the Trudeau government says it is looking at measures to address pervasive interference by India and other countries such as China, Iran and Russia. It is a challenge. It’s an evolving threat. It’s it’s pervasive. It targets diaspora communities in Canada. But we’re going to continue to do everything we can do to detect and disrupt this foreign interference. And in fact, the government will table new legislation Monday.
